haha, you stayed up for it too?

Edmunds does it in 4.8/13.0 (probably what most owners will be seeing). Nothing but good things to say about it also. This will be my next car!! In black please..

Onehots2k

Yes, I did. See original post of the V6 times. :-D

I like this; from autoblog:

"Speaking of Audi, the 5.0 makes the 354-hp S5 look like an overpriced slowpoke. We've driven both cars in anger and the 2011 Mustang GT is not only faster, but is actually rear-wheel drive, not a FWD platform fitted with Quattro all-wheel drive. Want us to go even further? We'd prefer the Mustang GT to a BMW 650i. Sure, the BMW has dash leather and... iDrive. But (again), the GT makes more power (the 650i manages 360 hp), handles better and is quieter unless you're really belting the throttle. Also, Sync's a whole lot better than iDrive, even the much improved new iDrive. Not only that, but the GT's new 5.0-liter V8 engine is in another league than (previous) competitors like the Nissan 370Z and Hyundai Genesis Coupe 3.8. Getting the point? In 2011, the Mustang GT is the car to beat. Welcome back, 5.0."

Very nice!

Thank God, it's $30K, or else every kid in town would have one and street-race all over the place. However, used ones will go for much cheaper, so in the end, every kid will have one.

Onehots2k

I know. Its more out of reach. Nissan did the same thing with the 370Z.

Very very tempting. I have a feeling we'll be seeing those everywhere on the street though

In comparison, the 370Z did the figure 8 in 24.9 @.73g vs the Mustang 25.3@.75 vs the SS 25.8 @.8 vs the Challenger SRT-8 26.74 @.679 (gogo traction control).
